The Power of Music

A friend recently introduced me to the music of Rita Springer, and her introduction couldn’t be more timely. She had mentioned that when she doesn’t know what to say to Father, she often turns on Rita and lets her words speak what she can’t. So true, and so applicable to where I am right now with making a decision regarding the future. Here are two different excerpts from two Springer songs.

“Set my face as flint before you now
My life I recommit here as I bow
I love it when you gently kiss my brow
And whisper it’s all right”
“I don't understand Your ways
Oh but I will give You my song
Give You all of my praise
You hold on to all my pain
With it You are pulling me closer
And pulling me into Your ways

Now around every corner
And up every mountain
I'm not looking for crowns
Or the water from fountains
I'm desperate in seeking, frantic believing
That the sight of Your face
Is all that I need
I will say to You

It's gonna be worth it
It's gonna be worth it
It's gonna be worth it all
I believe this”
